Ch10 Blast_From_the_Past:_Fright_and_Death
___________________________________________
I wandered about the surrounding trees,not exactly sure of what I was really expecting to find. I was actually
hoping I would find some berries,or newly blooming flowers,but out in Makai.There was little chance of finding
anything that even resembles beauty. It had been,or seemed to have been, hours since I had first left off,and
I had wandered away more than I had planned. I was surrounded by trees loomming towers above my head,and
short,soft,grass that looked as if the tops had been personally trimmed. It was beautiful,something I had
never expected in Makai,at all.
My eyes grew round as I calmy walked through a lined tree path,vines crawling up the trunks,small,dark purple,
thorned blooms growing patternly between the leaves. The leaves in the trees were a light shade of teal,bare,
small,slivers of light making them glow gold at certain moments. It all seemed,...,...,enchanted. A smile crept
gladly on my face,but something in my heart was telling me this was all wrong,that I wasn't suppossed to be
there,but my curiosity was much stronger than the warning feeling creeping up my back. I wanted to find something now,
I,for some reason,wanted to pick a flower.....for Hiei. I owed him anything I could give him,that seemed to be
the only thing important to me at the moment,so,ignoring every feeling I was having I kept looking around.
*In a place so beautiful,there has to be at least one flower,or even just a really pretty berry for all I care!*,
I thought after continuing the path I started on afew moments ago. I wasn't discouraged at all,and not even
aware I was being watched and laughed at as I was being pulled into a trap.
________
*in a tree not to far away*
"Perfect,continue on my precious,come to me....",A black figure whispered as Raiko walked about searching
the ground. Raiko was calmly having a conversation with herself,occupied by trying to find Hiei something.
"Go ahead and try to please your want to be lover,it will do nothing,all your efforts will be waisted,for in the
end,you WILL be mine. As soon as she touches that flower,everything will come back to her,and her soul will
break,she will turn back into the majestic creature she used to be,my little Raikou."
The demon laughed under his breath as he watched Raiko come into a clearing.
________
I walked into a HUGE clearing,where,there,right in the middle,lay a beautiful black rose. I gasped. I hurried
my pace into a sprint,stopping just inches from the glowing object. My heart was caught in awe, just looking
at it.
"This is perfect!Its his favorite hue!" I cried happily. I reached out to pick it from the ground,but when my hand
was just oh so close to touching its stem,my whole body froze. My heart practically stopped beating. My hand
shook horridly.
"What is this?!?",I cried out in alarm.
____________
*flash-back*
A young girl,say about the age of 4,was asleep in a tiny room.Smoke seeped under her door,and above her bed.
She blinked her eyes and raised up in her bed.
"*cough,cough*Mommy?" she called out timidly. She pushed back the covers,and slowly got out of the bed.
She reached out her hand,and grasped hold of the door handle,quickly pulling it back from the burning sensation
that it brought to her hand.
"Mommy?Mommy where are you?",she called out again,recieving no answer.
The girl got a panicked look.
"Mommy?!?",she called out louder. She heard crackling of fire downstairs,and faint whimpers following in its
rythem. She grabbed the door faster,flinging it open.
"Ahhh!" Fire blazed in front of her,surrounding her feet. She ran out of it,to a safer spot near the railing of
some stairs that lead down into the living room.
"MOMMY!!!",she screamed frantically.Then she heard her mothers sweet voice,in a strangle of screams. The childs
eyes lit up in tears of hearing her mother's pain. She ran down stairs,dodging the fire that threatened to engulf
her the second she stopped.
She stopped at the last step in paralyzed hault. A black figure held her mother against a wall,his hand grapping
her throat in a suffocating manner.
"MOTHER!!!!!",she shouted,tears threating to fall from her eyelids.
"Raikou!Raikou run,get out of here!!",she shouted,her last breath forcing blood to roll down her chin and on to
her light blue kimono.
The child stood there,grasping onto the railing as if she happened to let go,should would fall into the pits of hell.
Her mouth opened slightly,as a nightmare beyond compare took place before her eyes.
The black figure let go of her mother's neck,letting her blood drenched body slide to the burning ground.
He smiled in satisfaction as her last drops of blood spilled to the ground in innocent piles around his feet.
He turned his dark,spilled with hatred eyes on Raikou. His eyes were pitch black,with fog-like swirls of
gray-ish silver. He kept his smile,starring directly into the poor childs soul.
"Mommy.....mother.....w-w-why.....?" she choked out.
"Because it was necessary,my dearest Raikou.",answered the demon. Raikou's eyes went blank in pain.
"Don't worry,your fate is to be intertwined with mine,you can not run from it,so there is no need to,
unless,of course,you want to be hurt more....which,if you do defy me,is gauranteed.",he smiled at his last
words even wider.
"W-w-what d-do you w-want with m-me?" she asked
"I don't want from you,I want you,just you.....",he answered.
"M-m-m-me.........b-b-but,why?"
"You WILL find out,hehehehe....",he laughed.
Suddenly,there was a crash.
"NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!!!!!!" cried a female voice. A beautiful kitsune jumped infront
of me. She was brown color,with a lighter brown patch of hair glistening inbetween her ears. She had 6 tails,
all the light color of her bangs,this light coloring also covering the very bottom of her paws. Her fangs were
bared,a deep growl emitting from her throat. Her yellow-brown eyes seemed to have flames growing in them.
"Vixan,how nice of you to join us." the demon said pleasantly.
"It won't be 'us' very long!",she snapped,looking back at Raikou, jumping up,and throwing her fangs into her
shirt collar. The kitsune swiftly sprinted up the stairs,and into Raikou's bedroom. She kicked the door closed,
and ran to Raikou's window. She waisted no time with hesitation,and ran through the window,it shattering seemingly
in slow motion against her body. Raikou hardly knew what was going on,her body in a soul-shattering state of
shock,so she was quite during all of this,not a single noise came from her mouth,as she was carried away by
the kitsune.
__________
I drew my hand back,sweat dripping from my body and tears stinging my eyes as they dripped with the sweat.
My heart beat fast,my body slipping into a state of unconsiousness.
*Whats....whats going,going on?* my mind stammered. *What is,....,....,is this?*
"Somebody help me!!",I screamed,already knowing no one would hear me.
I held my pounding head in a fit of screams,every scream sending visible waves through the air.
All the concentration put into creating the illusion was shattered,sending it back to the forests original state.
My eyes widened,the rose dissapeared,along with the pain. Tears still marked my face,along with the horrid
memory.
"Was-was,that me?That girl,me....I-I-can't,I....",It came to me so rapidly.*Raikou,thats my name,that was my mom....
but who,who was that,....,....,thing,that monster!*
My heart suddenly shocked my brain into another thought.Hiei. *Hiei,I,I need to find him!Maybe he can help,
maybe...I...but what if he doesn't want to help me?What if......OH!!Hiei....please,please just comfort me...*
Before I knew it,I was sheading tears again,but I needed to find him. I ran from the area,as far as I could,
calling Hiei's name in a desperate search.
_________
*back to the demon*
"Hehehehehehe.It may not have been exactly what I was expecting to happen,but it worked anyways,she is going
to be frightened,and I will get to her before that fire demon,hehehehe. Once she learns the whole truth,she would do
anything I ask of her,just to keep that little imp alive....."
